Lobbying Training

The Government Accountability Board offers training to lobbyists and organizations that employ a lobbyist through a variety of methods such as written materials like manuals, guidelines, and opinions. The Board also conducts periodic in-person training sessions and presentations. The G.A.B. now provides lobbying training through online webinars. See below for more information on this new training opportunity.

Leading into the 2015-2016 Wisconsin legislative session, the Government Accountability Board will also begin offering lobbying training through webinars: live training seminars presented online that will allow participants to call in to an online presentation and type questions to the presenters. We will record the webinars and post them here to allow you to view the presentations at your convenience.

Individual Consultations

You can find answers to most common questions related to lobbying in Wisconsin on our website in manuals, presentations guidelines, and opinions. If you cannot find the answer to your question, G.A.B. staff members may be able to assist you. If a lobbyist or lobbying organization would like to discuss lobbying registration/licensing/authorization, reporting requirements, or prohibited practices, they should send an email to GABethics@wi.gov, or call (608) 266-8005 and ask to speak with a lobbying specialist. We will do our best to accommodate all requests.
